This really helped, i.e, I am now using

curl -F uploaded_file=@index.html\;type=text/html http://validator.w3.org/check

for HTML validation. One request: I am using curl 7.10.4, and reading and
rereading the man page, I could fine a reference to "type=" contstruct only for
ftp which enforces ascii transfer if the url ends with ";type=A". I suppose
that the fact one can add a mime type to a -F upload should be documented!

Thanks a million,

Zvi.
